Receiving a transplant is an amazing gift, and our transplant team is here to help you take care of that gift.

We want your new kidney to allow you to enjoy an active and productive life. Taking good care of your new kidney will allow you to return to your home and family in good health.

Your transplant team members will meet with you during your hospital stay to help you learn how to take care of your new kidney.

During recovery, you are monitored closely. Members of the transplant team- including the medical staff transplant surgeon and nephrologist, nurse, transplant coordinator, financial coordinator, dietitian and social worker - stay connected with you to answer questions. They also provide counseling on physical activity, nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices for the best possible transplant outcome.

Once you return home you must take your medications, follow your diet, exercise and monitor yourself for signs and symptoms of infection and rejection. To help you get the best results from your transplant, you should work with your transplant team.

Please follow your after-surgery information carefully, and take your medications as your transplant team recommends. Keep your transplant doctor informed of any problems you may be having. It is important to keep all of your scheduled office visits at the transplant center. Your after-transplant coordinator will be your point-of-contact for any medicine or health-related issues.
